Bringing a Gorn to a paradigm fight"

Bringing a Gorn to a paradigm fight

Do you see what happens when one posts sarcastic images about crazy people in politics?

A running debate about abortion.

Stating the Obvious

"Debates" about abortion generate only heat and friction, not light.

All light that can be shed on abortion has long since been shed.

No possibility of debate exists. What can be said has already been said.

"There is nothing both new and abortion-related under the sun," to paraphrase lusty Solomon.

The only task remaining is to hate each other until the sun goes out.

Recycling metaphor

Close enough.

Green glass beer bottle, brown glass beer bottle.

Dump it in the same recycling bin.

Re-use the glass to contain something nourishing for my friends, or a bitter toxin for my enemies.
